It is in human nature to first look for negatives in everything. Most reports on the news are negative.

In our conversations, there are more negative words than optimistic and happy stories.

Our mind automatically jumps to pessimistic thoughts and grim conclusions when something doesn't go the way we think it should.

It is in human nature to repair problems as well. We love finding problems so that we could solve them.

We not only use this approach in our work, but we also use it to assess our workers. And it's very natural.

But this is where we go wrong.

This is the reason why we are not using our human potential to its fullest. This is the explanation of why we have more average managers than we have genuine leaders.

The basic truth is that we should stop attempting to "fix" our employees and instead center around their strengths and their interests. That's how we can enable them to take our products, image, and culture to a whole new level.

In this podcast, Namrata Dhasmana talks about everything we must know about Strength-Based Leadership and Culture. Here, the conversation starts with how an organization prioritizes and build strengths. According to Namrata, it's high time that we stop fixing our employees or stop looking for what's wrong in them, rather we should start acknowledging their strengths and utilize them. She further puts forward her recommendations on how to deliver important performance feedback employing a strengths-based method.

Namrata Dhasmana is an HR and operations leader with a rich, diversified experience across the industry in Strategy and Leadership roles. She works in a US Mortgage Industry in a Business Unit. An HR by heart, she believes every person has innate talents. As a Leader, it is essential to find a sweet spot between business, Technology, and People.
